Maschine Mikro MK2 is a professional music production tool, combining the flexibility of software with the immediacy of hardware – now updated with new, multi-colored pads, enhanced display and more. Create rhythms, bass lines, chords and melodies, and build tracks on-the-fly with the intuitive, clip-based sequencer. Maschine Mikro MKII also gives you a high-performance sampler, pro effects and full support for VST and Audio Units plug-ins. You can also run it as a plug-in in your DAW.

Supreme Sounds InsideMaschine Mikro MK2 comes with over 6 GB of professional and inspiring sounds. Create rhythms and melodies right away with the included drum kits, one-shot samples, basses, synths and acoustic instruments. Maschine 1.8 software provides the legendary Massive synth – a sonic monster for basses and leads with 1,300 earth-shattering sounds. Maschine Mikro MK2 also includes Komplete Elements, providing more than 1,000 stunning sounds from Komplete 8 and Komplete 8 Ultimate.

Time Stretch and Pitch ShiftThe included Maschine 1.8 software includes time stretch and pitch shift capability. Stretch smoothly from one BPM to another, aided by the automatic BPM detection. Or stretch your audio to a specific length – to fit one sample to the same length as another, for example. What’s more, make your beats match harmonically, by tuning your samples with the pitch shift function.

New EffectsThe latest free software update includes new effects, specially selected for beat production. Transient Master, NI’s hugely popular dynamics and mixing effect, has now been fully integrated in the Maschine 1.8 software.

Ideal for positioning drums and percussion, it lets you mix from front to back, giving each sample exactly the right amount of space. New Tube, Tape Saturator and Tube Saturator effects bring the secrets of analog warmth and natural, harmonic compression to Maschine Mikro MKII, for even greater sound coloring potential.

Massive BonusIncludes a full version of the modern legend Massive – the synth that gave birth to the earth-shuddering bass tones and speaker-troubling leads that have defined the bass music genre. This monster synth contains 1,300 ready-to-go sounds, all instantly browseable via the Maschine Mikro MKII hardware.

Workflow ImprovementsExperienced and new Maschine Mikro MK2 producers alike will appreciate the big time savings from these workflow improvements in the free Maschine 1.8 software update:

Host transport control: Running the Maschine software as a plug-in in your DAW*, use the transport buttons on the Maschine hardware to control transport in the host software. Important: Requires the latest version of the NI Controller Editor.

Use Maschine Mikro MK2 as an instrument for performing your own tracks, or sync it with other gear like Traktor Pro 2 to add more dynamics to your live set. The colored pads let you see your sounds, making the workflow smoother than ever while providing irresistible eye-candy on stage.

Amazing machine. Lol. No pun intended. I have owned everything from an SP1200 to various MPC's. I have also used both Sony Acid Pro and Reason for several years. I actually started making music using the pause lever on an old cassette deck. So to say I was not only blown away would be an understatement. I made a track within an hour of installing the software.
The software is nearly perfect and based around common sense application. I found that the time I spent going through my nearly 80 gig sound library was so much faster than before. The one little thing that makes a HUGE deal to me is remembering where I left off going through samples. Well this software automatically takes you right back to where you left off even if you turn everything off. Thank you.
The hardware is good as well. Nice pad feel and responds quickly when recording. Very forgiving when making mistakes. The maschine fits in the same back as my MacBook Pro. A new level of travel production.
